On Tuesday, Jonathan appeared on the morning show to chat about his new movie, Creed III.

While he happily answered any questions the presenters had, the tech issues on the show confused the actor as to what to do.

Ryan asked Jonathan to tell them a little more about his character, Damien.

“The movie is Creed III,” he began. “We’ve been dating our hero Adonis Creed for many, many years now. But we don’t know-“

He cut himself off after someone else seemed to be trying to do it for him.

By the time Jonathan gave his answer, a clip from the new film had started playing.

While the on-air clips are usually silent or very quiet when played during a celebrity segment, this one appeared to be at a normal volume.

The video’s audio interrupted Jonathan’s voice, making him unsure how to handle the situation.

“Shall I go on?” he asked the hosts, confused.

“Yes, yes, go ahead,” Ryan assured him.

Kelly added: “Yeah, we don’t know. The video almost never has sound, but this time we decided to turn sound on.”

After the confusion, the clip ended quickly and Jonathan was able to continue his interview without further interruptions.

Earlier this month, the live presenters encountered another equipment issue during a celebrity interview on the show.

Kelly and Ryan’s interview with Maria Menounos was cut short after hearing a loud crash backstage.

The hosts jumped from their seats when a camera fell to the floor while Maria was having some fun with it.

The couple had been speaking to Maria about her marriage to Kevin Undergaro when the incident occurred.

Maria was just about to praise Kevin when suddenly there was a loud bang behind her.

The presenter, whose parents are both originally from Greece, glanced to the side and exclaimed: “Ooh!” before jokingly proclaiming: “Grandpa! Opppaaaaa!”

Kelly jumped out of her seat and laughed nervously before clapping her hands and laughing at Maria’s reaction.

She quickly summed it up and joked, “You know, if the camera crashes, that means it’s true,” referencing Maria’s compliments on Kevin.

Ryan then quipped, “They’re just trying to make you laugh,” alluding to Maria’s signature loud laugh.

Maria kept talking but it looked like the chaos wasn’t over yet as several quieter cracks were heard during their conversation – which the trio ignored.
